Kalenga has never been in a dull fight. Two of his three career losses have been to current WBA Super cruiserweight champion Денис Лебедєв (26-2), who Kalenga dropped in the fourth round, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision in Russia, and last June he was stopped for the first time in his seven-year pro career by 20-0 Юніер Дортікос in Paris for the Interim WBA strap.
The 23-year-old Rabii defeated 2016 Олімпійський чемпіон Daniyar Yeleussinov in the welterweight division championship finale of the 2015 AIBA World Amateur Championships to capture a gold for his native Morocco. Rabii won a bronze medal at the 2016 Олімпійські ігри в Бразилії, dropping a highly-disputed decision (0-3) in the semifinals to Uzebek boxer Shakhram Giyasov, the eventual silver medalist.

Лас-Вегас (Січень 31, 2017) – The World Boxing Association (WBA) has notified WBA cruiserweight world champion Шуменов Бакбо and WBA Interim cruiserweight title-holder Юніер Дортікос, as well as their representatives, that Caribe Promotions has lost its rights to promote the WBA mandated Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight.
Дортікос’ промоутер, Caribe Promotions, originally won the Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight rights last November with a winning purse bid of $350,001, which required a fight date within 90 днів. Although rumored to be held in mid-February in either Miami or Las Vegas, Caribe’s ability and willingness to actually promote the fight came into question in January, 2017. The WBA demanded that Caribe confirm its intentions and even granted Caribe additional time to respond, but Caribe failed to file confirmation of a fight date with the WBA. Because Caribe was unable to confirm its intentions, the WBA had little choice but to award rights to the second-highest purse bidder, Tom Brown’s TGB Promotions.
“I last fought 21 травня and I have been in the gym since June because I was supposed to fight Lebedev in September,” said a terribly frustrated Shumenov. “But he backed out of the fight with me once again and I have been ready to fight since then. I signed a bout agreement to fight Dorticos on February 11thв Майамі, but Dorticos and his promoter disappeared after I signed. They’re full of it; all they do is talk. I can’t wait to knock him out. I am waiting on my manager to call me right now to tell me the new fight date with TGB.”
Caribe Promotions has been forced to also forfeit its $35,000 purse bid deposit with 10-percent off the top going to the WBA and remainder ($31,500) distributed to Shumenov and Dorticos, відповідно, on a 75-25 percent basis due to its failure to promote the fight.
Шуменов (17-2, 11 КО), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of Kazakhstan, fought last Травня 21, коли він зупинився 15-1-1 Молодший Райт в 10ї round of their Las Vegas fight for the vacant WBA World cruiserweight title. The WBA had ruled that the Shumenov-Wright winner would be the mandatory challenger for its “Супер” чемпіон, Лебедєв, within 90 днів, проте, it later allowed unified cruiserweight titlist Lebedev (against Shumenov’s strong objections) to fight his International Boxing Federation (IBF) mandatory defense against challenger Мурат Гассиев, effectively mandating an eliminator between Shumenov and Dorticos with that winner to fight the winner of Lebedev-Gassiev. Only days prior to the Lebedev-Gassiev title fight, Lebedev was inexplicably allowed to fight Gassiev without defending his WBA title, as only his IBF belt was on the line. Гассиев (24-0) переміг Лебедєва (29-3) by way of a 12-round split decision in Moscow to become the IBF cruiserweight world champion and Lebedev remains the WBA Super cruiserweight world champion, at least for now. The WBA is expected to rule on Shumenov’s objections to Lebedev’s fight against Gassiev, Lebedev’s status and whether Lebedev will remain champion having lost his last fight.
Dorticos has made false claims in the media that Shumenov, who had been waiting for the WBA to rule on his petitions to force Lebedev to fight him without further delay, had been avoiding him. It is ironic now that Dorticos’ own promoter first sought to delay and has now defaulted on the long-awaited confrontation by failing to promote the Shumenov-Dorticos title fight within the WBA deadline.
A former WBA Super light heavyweight world champion, the 33-year-old Shumenov is the first two-division world champion from a Soviet-bloc country.

Лас-Вегас (Серпня 17,, 2016) – Team Shumenov believes it is worth reviewing recent history enlight of the recent announcement that WBA Super/IBF cruiserweight world champion Денис Лебедєв will defend against Мурат Гассиев in late November or early December in Russia: A condition for allowing Lebedev to fight IBF cruiserweight champion Victor Emilio Ramirez травня 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Шуменов Бакбо within 120 днів. (Lebedev hasn’t made a mandatory defense since April 10, 2015.) Shumenov has done everything to make that fight, while Lebedev has done nothing but run from his mandatory title fight. When it first became obvious in June that Lebedev was trying to avoid his mandated WBA title fight, Shumenov repeatedly requested that the WBA order a purse bid.
Lebedev ignored the WBA and then recently sought, after the WBA deadline had passed, a special permit allowing him to fight Gassiev, which Shumenov officially objected to within 48 годин. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion Юніер Дортікос has also objected. At this present time, хоча, Team Shumenov is still waiting to hear the WBA’s ruling in terms of stripping Lebedev if he decides to fight Gassiev instead of Shumenov.
It really is very simple. Shumenov wants to fight Lebedev, who is doing everything he can to avoid it. If Lebedev doesn’t care to meet his obligations and conditions of his prior special permit, he should relinquish his title. Lebedev and his people need to rejoin the rest of us in the real world and stop claiming that Shumenov has not been pushing for this fight.
According to a recent report, Lebedev’s camp members erroneously reported that, “Shumenov is not exactly pushing the issue” (to fight Lebedev next).

Лас-Вегас (Липня 22, 2016) – It has been more than a month since World Boxing Association (WBA) world cruiserweight champion Шуменов Бакбо (16-2, 10 КО), based on the much publicized WBA Cruiserweight Tournament rules and regulations, petitioned the WBA to either declare a purse bid for a title fight between WBA Super cruiserweight champion Денис Лебедєв, or strip Lebedev of his title belt for being non-compliant.
У липні минулого року, Shumenov defeated B.J. Квіти by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the WBA mandatory challenger for Lebedev, who hasn’t fought a mandatory defense since April 10, 2015.
The WBA issued a resolution this past April that Lebedev, who defeated Victor Emelio Ramirez in May to also become International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion, must fight Shumenov within 120 днів of the latter’s May 21, 2016 knockout victory over Молодший Райт.
On record for making changes to insure only one world champion in each division, incredibly, the WBA presently has 38 different world title belt holders in only 17 different weight classes. Only three WBA divisions have one world champion – супер легкий, lightweight and light flyweight – and eight have three world titlists, including its cruiserweight division, which presently has world champions in Lebedev, Shumenov and Interim champion Юніер Дортікос, who is the WBA second mandatory challenger.
In an apparent public relations move, the WBA has suddenly declared this month a rash of mandatory defenses, проте, declaring and actually making these title fights are two different things, as Shumenov has unfortunately learned. The WBA should have ordered a Lebedev vs. Shumenov purse bid on June 21, 2016, when the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement, but the WBA failed to do so. When Shumenov repeated his request for a purse bid in June, the WBA failed once again to act.
WBA Rule D: Purse Bids
1. Call For Purse Bid. Bout participants shall reach an agreement on holding the bout no later than ninety (90) days before the expiration of the mandatory period. To confirm an agreement has been reached, the WBA must receive acceptable bout contracts signed by the boxers certifying they have reached terms for the bout. If no agreement has been reached, the Championships Committee, with the approval of the President, can call for Purse bid. A boxer may also request a purse bid at any time.
Lebedev’s promoter, Andrei Ryabinsky, has been quoted in stories about having a deal in place for his fighter to defend his IBF title first. In effect, the WBA is allowing Lebedev to hold the WBA Super cruiserweight title belt hostage, leveraging it against his IBF crown. Шуменов, who is a former WBA Super light heavyweight champion, has now proudly worn the WBA belt around his waist for a total of nearly five years.
“I was looking forward to fighting Lebedev and I don’t understand his unwillingness and refusal to step in the ring with me,” Шуменов сказав.
Team Shumenov is extremely disappointed in the WBA’s failure to act on making the fight with Lebedev that it mandated, in addition to being discouraged by the WBA’s failure, after several requests had been made, to either set a purse bid date or strip Lebedev of his world title belt. Not knowing if or when the WBA is finally going to rule has left Shumenov unable to book any fights. The WBA’s failure to enforce its own purse bid rule, or strip Lebedev, has unfairly prevented Shumenov from earning a living while at the peak of his pro boxing career.
Shumenov is the only native Kazakh to be a two-division world champion. Now a resident of Las Vegas, he also represented his native Kazakhstan at the 2004 Olympics in Greece.

Лас-Вегас (Травня 18, 2016) – Всесвітня боксерська асоціація (WBA) Тимчасовий чемпіон світу у важкій Шуменов Бакбо (16-2, 10 КО) makes his first title defense в цю суботу ніч (Травня 21) against WBA No. 11-номінальний Junior “Ураган” Райт (15-1-1, 12 КО) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight в цю суботу ніч,” Шуменов сказав, “but I wish that I could fight more often. I’ve been ready since January. Every training session I gain new knowledge. I am a completely different fighter than in my last fight.”
Shumenov’s last fight was back in July, in which he defeated B.J. Квіти (31-1-1, 20 КО) by 12-round unanimous decision in Las Vegas to capture the vacant WBA Interim title, making the former WBA light heavyweight champion Shumenov the first professional boxer from Kazakhstan to be a two-division world champion.
By becoming the WBA Interim cruiserweight champion, Shumenov also became the No. 1 ranked mandatory challenger for WBA Super cruiserweight titlist Денис Лебедєв (28-2, 21 КО), who also fights в цю суботу in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) чемпіон Віктор Еміліо “Тайсон де Abasto” Рамірес (22-2-1, 17 КО) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 днів. The WBA, проте, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “регулярний” cruiserweight world title fight в цю п'ятницю night in France between No. 2 Юніер Дортікос і Ні. 5 Юрій Каленга (since upgraded to No. 3), especially after announcing that it would work this year to have only one world champion in each weight class.
Шуменов, звичайно, is risking his mandatory position by fighting Wright, the former 5-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion. “I need to stay active,” Shumenov explained why he’s taking such a risk. “Кожен бій, I gain experience and it also helps me develop my fighting skills.”
The 12-round Shumenov vs. Wright title fight is on the non-televised portion of The Cosmopolitan show.

Лас-Вегас (Квітня 29, 2016) – Всесвітня боксерська асоціація (WBA) Interim cruiserweight world champion Шуменов Бакбо (16-2, 10 КО), the only Kazakhstan-native to hold world titles in two different weight classes, is disputing the WBA’s sanctioning of the WBA “регулярний” cruiserweight world championship fight, Травня 20 в Парижі, between two lower-ranked WBA fighters, Чи не. 2 Юніер Дортікос і Ні. 5 Юрій Каленга (recently upgraded to No. 3).
У липні минулого року, Shumenov defeated B.J. Квіти by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the mandatory challenger for WBA “регулярний” у важкій вазі Денис Лебедєв, who was later elevated to “Супер” чемпіон.
Lebedev hasn’t fought a mandatory defense протягом одного року, За іронією долі, when he won a 12-round decision over Kalenga, who had earned his world title shot, like Shumenov, by becoming WBA Interim world champion. The WBA granted Lebedev an extension in terms of his due mandatory defense because of the Russian’s unification fight Травня 21 in Moscow against International Boxing Federation (IBF) титулу Victor Emelio Ramirez.
“I’m very disappointed the WBA is sanctioning Dorticos-Kalenga for its ‘regular’ cruiserweight title, when I am the No. 1 ranked and current WBA Interim champion,” Шуменов сказав. “I repeatedly informed the WBA through emails, texts and verbally that I was ready to fight back in January. I preferred to fight Lebedev but I was willing to fight Dorticos or anybody else in the top 15. For the past few months, I’ve been laboring over what I believe is a very bad decision, letting two lower-ranked fighters, Немає. 2 і Ні. 3 хлопці, fight for the WBA ‘regular’ назва. I am shocked and bewildered and do not understand the WBA’s rationale to have either of these fighters declared the WBA ‘regular’ champion without first defeating either Lebedev or me, the Interim champion and No. 1 rank contender.
“I appealed the decision but, so far, the WBA has done little in response to my appeals other than delay and stall before finally ruling that I will fight the Lebedev-Ramirez winner months from now, ще, ignoring my appeal to stop the regular title status of Dorticos-Kalenga and still sanction a fight between them, its No. 2 і Ні. 3 rated fighters, for the WBA ‘regular’ назва. This is unfair to fans, who deserve to watch the best fighting the best, especially when a world championship is at stake! We now have this odd situation where there will be three separate WBA cruiserweight fights in May, all for a different version of WBA world title I just don’t feel anyone should get the WBA ‘regular’ title without first defeating a champion or at least the top-ranked fighter in the division. The WBA knew I was and am ready to fight. Its decision makes no sense and, по-моєму, diminishes the prestige and meaning of the title. I have respect for Dorticos and Kalenga but I think the legitimacy of any world title resulting from a fight between the No. 2 і Ні. 3 ranked contenders, when the No 1 mandatory contender who already holds the WBA Interim champion is ready and available, to say the least, is highly questionable.
“The WBA told me and announced to the media that it was working to have only one world champion in each division. While I’ve been sitting out the last four months waiting to fight, the WBA has decided to allow six different guys to fight for три WBA cruiserweight world titles, practically on the same day, instead of crowning only one WBA cruiserweight world champion. I look forward to returning to the ring and my manager, Аль Haymon, has advised me that I will fight in May and we will announce next week. I want to thank everyone for their support and I apologize to my family, друзі, fans and my country, Казахстан, for this chaos the WBA has caused that has damaged and delayed my professional boxing career. I will move forward and continue to fight inside the ring, letting my attorneys and manager fight this unfair situation outside the ring.”

Лас-Вегас (Березня 22, 2016) – Всесвітня боксерська асоціація (WBA) Тимчасовий чемпіон світу у важкій Шуменов Бакбо (16-2, 10 КО) націлює 21 травня уніфікація титул переможця між WBA вазі Денис Лебедєв(28-2, 21 КО) і Міжнародної федерації боксу (IBF) чемпіон Віктор Еміліо “Тайсон де Abasto” Рамірес (22-2-1, 17 КО).
Коли Шуменов переміг B.J. Квіти(31-1-1, 20 КО) в липні минулого року в Лас-Вегасі, колишній WBA в напівважкій вазі за версією WBA став тимчасового чемпіона, а також його немає. 1 обов'язковим претендентом.

“Я з нетерпінням чекаю, щоб маючи можливість боротися з переможцем Лебедєв-Ramirez, тому що це завжди було моєю метою об'єднати титули,” Шуменов пояснив. “Lebedev has always been my target. Ramirez is the other fighter I’ve really wanted to fight and my manager tried to make a fight between us, занадто.
“Я був в тренажерному залі, так як мій останній бій, навчання важко удосконалювати свої навички. Зараз, I am a completely different fighter since I fought last July. My team is extremely happy and confident that I can beat all of the other world cruiserweight champions.”
У грудні минулого року, Шуменов повинен був захищати свій Тимчасовий WBA корону проти дворазового чемпіона світу у важкій Krzyesztof “Diablo” Влодарчик (50-3-1, 36 КО), але серйозною медичною проблемою щодо члена сім'ї змушені Шуменов вийти з вищезгаданого бою.
“Можливість боротися з переможцем Лебедєва / Рамірес в великий об'єднавчий бій якраз сталося в цьому році, і я не маю той варіант, коли я вирішила спочатку боротися Влодарчик ще в грудні, і я не міг передбачити, що станеться з моїм сім'я особисто,” 32-year-old Shumenov said. “У мене немає ніяких проблем бойової Влодарчик в майбутньому, but only after I fight the Lebedev-Ramirez unification winner. На додаток, в будь-який час, У мене немає ніяких проблем з бойової WBA Немає. 2-місце Юніер Дортікос.
“Зараз, Я в моєму бойовому розквіті сил поки ще поліпшується, навчання з моїм тренером, Ісмаель Салас. I want to show the world my skills before I get too old.
